We’d like to know a little bit about your for our files.
It’s pretty important for us that we know who you are. That’s how we can make sure we are doing the right things for our users and subscribers. So every so often we will ask you to complete a poll or tow. There’s one here and it’s a simple one. How old are you?
Below you should see a poll. The one you see will depend on whether you are a full member or a free member or logged out/don’t have an account. Yes, we’ve made three polls but you will only see one. So you will get to see the results of your group after you have submitted your age, but we will get to see if there’s a difference between the two groups. I’ll report on the answer to that question in the comments in a week or two.
So, if you want to see what is the most popular Singletrack age range, then tick some boxes.
This poll is for logged out users or users with no registered account. If you have an account then please login to participate in your poll.
Your personal data is safe with us. We aren’t going to be releasing your personal information to anyone. Obviously the overall results will be essentially public although only visible here to logged in users of this site.
Spotify says I’m 26 – i think they got that the wrong way round. Something to do with the TR ask a cycling coach podcast age i’m guessing
63. Christ. How the flip did that happen?!
Also my only mtb is a Singlespeed @jameso!
Well those poll results were exactly what I was expecting…bunch of old gits (…and i include myself) 😄
Mental age 17
Actual age 41
And just in…
Spotify age 71
🤣
Over half my real age – I’m always telling the wife and daughter I’m down with the kids! 😎
Daughters (23) came in at 47!
You’ve swapped playlists – my lad is listening to a lot of 70s/80s, I’ve been listening to a lot of his newer stuff. He’s 63 apparently
My listening age is 33. A whole 39 years younger than my actual age, which is exactly the age that the adverts on ITV4 (only watch it for TdF) think I am.
Doesn’t really surprise me that the predominant age range is in the 40’s or thereabouts, I would guess that’s the age when there’s more disposable income available, and also time available to get out and ride.
I’m in the process of getting my single speed back on the road, the original Hope M4’s have gone beyond saving, parts are no longer available, not surprising for a twenty-odd year old product that’s been sat in a shed for half that time, so new Calipers are on their way, so I’ll have two bikes to get out on. As a 71, going on 72 year old, it’s been hard work getting used to riding again, but I’ve noticed a difference. Less tolerance to cold and wet conditions, mind!
Mental age: Ask my wife
Spotify Age: What’s Spotify 😜😂
Actual Age: 78
Btw, interesting CountZero thinks that the 40’s age group is most likely to have the disposable income and time available. In my own case, yes to the disposable income but a definite NO to available time as it was a time for me when I was away for work and on planes a lot of the time. My home time was definitely for my family.
Age 67.
Garmin age 56.
Built my first singlespeed five years ago.
Hey, I said ‘most of us’
All power to old SSers I reckon. Or, as much power as you can manage : ) PS what’s a listening age? Edit ok, Spotify..
Im 57 this month. Still feel like a teenager too .been on here for decades too

I’ve been here long enough to remember when installing wood burners was all the rage…… Back then I was in my twenties and thought I must have been one of the younger ones….
Been here since I was 20, now 44! I remember the hacks! Tho spotify thinks i’m 34 so i’ll take that.
As expected, but I was in my early twenties when I first frequented here, now I’m in the most popular demographic…
Not looked yet, but I’m guessing the average age is around 50? Do I win a prize? 😁
Same here!
God have I been here that long…?!
65
I was off the bike for 12 years until 2024, lost 3.5 stones and now fitter than I have ever been
Its my birthday in 2 weeks, I feared I may have moved up an age bracket….. Just scrapped into the under 46 bracket.
Quite gratified that although I thought I would be one of the oldest gits I’m in the second most popular age bracket. Just shows that keep mountain biking and you won’t notice how old you are. (Well, apart from……)
80
Having problems with singlespeed now. Not my legs, they’re still fine, but heart problems. My kids are surprised at that, they didn’t think I had one.
Worse thing is I’m going to have to drop my entry in the StrathPuffer. There is a solo singlespeed entry going abegging.
Now that I’m old and frail I did think about gears and suspension, but everyone told me I should get an electric bike. Took a look and made the sensible decision, spent my money on a new motorbike instead. 🙂
Bit sad to see the U35 age bands so sparsely populated. Hopefully it’s a full member skew effect.
Does this mean we’ll start seeing ads for stairlifts, walk in baths, funeral payment plans and Dignitas?
36. Crikes, I’m one of the young ones.
When will saga get in touch? Or should I contact them?
